Succulent Secret

Afraid to try something new? Curvy, stout and seductive, succulents are a lovely living addition to your indoor garden.

Succulents often are seen as being difficult to manage, prickly and unglamorous. Play to their advantages and they are charming, colorful low-key crops of wonder that can bloom almost anywhere.

While their juicy leaves, stems and roots may thrive in hot climates, they can also flourish in low-light conditions. The beauty of succulents is that they can be neglected for weeks yet will still bloom under your direction.

The diverse and vast group of plants offer easy-care choices for your home and look stunning alone or with a group of succulent companions.

At home, you can quickly create a wall hanging out of the popular, plump and pretty hens-and-chicks for a simple, calm conversation piece. Add other plump succulents for a living art display that will last for years. A single blooming Kalanchoe, with its dainty pink flowers, provides an elegant pop of color to any small space, such as a bookcase or end table.

Displaying and caring for succulents in the office is stress-free and has shown to increase productivity and decrease pressure, making for a calmer environment. The tight rosettes of the echeveria in a pretty pot at your main entrance make for a gorgeous, decadent display. Or gather an arrangement of pencil cactus, with its reedy green stalks reaching for the sky, for a spectacular display in a bland room.
